Question

Sound problems

Ok i'm not sure how to put the .fla file on for you to see the problem but ill explain as best as possible.

Basically i press a button, a ball builds up, then it fires, but when it fires a nice catchy little "HADOKEN" is shouted. When i let go the sound stops. But.... i have to hold down spacebar for the ball to build up and fire. So when it gets to firing stage, as i fire the ball and hadoken is shouted, it is shouted many times because i have to hold down button, how do i get it to play the sound only once even with key held down, either explain or attach code.

Thanks very much in advance.

Here is my script: (Thanks Flashtastic for all your help)

ok sorry this is quite embarrasing, i've looked around on tutorials and stuff for what you mean and ive tried entering in different things instead of (this), and im getting either the same result as before or no result at all. I think here i'm just gonna need someone to tell me what to put in instead (sorry) :(

Thanks

change the "this" in your sound constructor to a timeline.

if(bullet._xscale == 500){
firing = true;
hadouken = new Sound(this);
hadouken.attachSound("hadoken");
hadouken.start();
bullet.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._x += 50;

don't put your sound statments in an onEnterFrame loop.

ok i understand what your sayin, but where should i put it, im pretty new atflash, and i don't give up easily so believe me when i say i have tried (i hope). I put it as

if (firing){
hadouken = new Sound(this);
hadouken.attachSound("hadoken");
hadouken.start();
}

But nothing, i tried a few other places but nothing, advice or a code is fine :) thanks very much
